| I was always able to send programs to my calculator, until today. For some reason, my cable doesn't work anymore. When i try to send something, TI-connect reacts like if the calculator isn't connected at all. I tried a RAM clear, i tried graphlink and TILP (which doesn't want to open, so i didn't really try that.)They all react the same: as if there is no connection at all. I checked the connection several times, i plugged the cable in, plugged it out and in again, it still does the same. I also tried to reinstall the linking software, same result. |

Do you have multiple ports that you can use for the cable? This happened to me once: I couldn't do anything until I put the cable in the port I had originally "installed."
Do you have VTI? Try doing the ROMdump to see if it is just TI-Connect or if there is a problem with the cable. |

I only have 1 Comport. VTI can't dump ROM. I know the settings are right, they are the same as before, when it still worked. I also tried ti connects 'find' function. With the same result as all the other stuff.
I hope my cable isn't damaged to much, calc cables are really expensive over here. Maybe i'll make one myself, out of new parts or of the remains of the old. |

| You're using a serial Graph Link cable? Do you have anything with which to doublecheck that the serial port itself is still functional, and/or a friend's calculator to check that your linkport is still functional? |

| Does the calculator turn on when you plug in the cable? This happened on my old calc, I had used it so much the linkport actualy got pushed into the calc, thus it could not make a connection. If this is the case, I hope you've backed everything up. |

My link port is still functional, i have sent a program to a friend's calc yesterday, it worked fine. I'm now going to try the com port of another computer... if i can find the graphlink. It's probably at my mothers house now (stupid divorced parents crap).
Actually, i rather have the cable broken than the comport. The cable probably is an easier (and cheaper) fix than the com port.

(who cares it's a double post)
The cable still doesn't work on the other computer, so unless both computers have a wrecked com port, my cable is broke. To do: search warranty form. |
